Motionless In White is a prominent metalcore band known for their dark and introspective sound, and their cover of Corey Hart’s 1985 hit ‘Sunglasses At Night’ is a testament to their ability to reimagine classic tracks. The song is part of their 2019 compilation album ‘Decades’, which celebrates the band’s tenth anniversary. With ‘Sunglasses At Night’, Motionless In White puts their own spin on a classic, blending the original’s synth-heavy new wave with their signature aggressive metalcore style.
The song ‘Sunglasses At Night’ revolves around themes of deception, control, and the blurring of reality, as the protagonist navigates a world where nothing is as it seems. Through the use of sunglasses as a metaphor, the song explores the idea of hiding one’s true self and observing the world around them with a sense of detachment.
I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
Watch you weave, then breathe your storylines (lines)
I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
Keep track of the visions in my eyes
While she’s deceiving me, it cuts my security
Has she got control of me?
I turn to her and say
Don’t switch the blade on the guy in shades, oh no
Don’t masquerade with the guy in shades, oh no (oh no)
I can’t believe it
‘Cause you’ve got it made with the guy in shades, oh no
I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
Forget my name while you collect your claim (collect your claim)
I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
See the light that’s right before my eyes, before my eyes
While she’s deceiving me, she cuts my security (security)
She got control of me
I turn to her and say
Don’t switch the blade on the guy in shades, oh no
Don’t masquerade with the guy in shades, oh no
I can’t believe it, don’t be afraid of the guy in shades, oh no
I can’t escape you
‘Cause you’ve got it made with the guy in shades, oh no
I said I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night (I wear my sunglasses)
I’ll say it to you now, I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night (I wear my sunglasses)
I cry to you
I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night
